Was John serious with this statement?

cook4t7 @cook4t7 (202) • United States 7 Jul 07

Jesus had done so many other things that if they were written down the world couldn't contain the books. John 21:25 Now could any one tell me how this could be since he was only on Earth 3 1/2 yrs. and if he did something every...

vivienna As occurrs so frequently in Bible texts, John's statement belongs to the figures of speech, this one called "Hyperbole". The contrary of the understatement, this kind of exaggeration is used to indicate a very great measure. You could say, for instance: "This...

vincent380 The verse that you have mentioned, together with 20: 30-31, affirms that the gospel of John is a record of selected things that serve the purpose of testifying to the matter of life and building. The Lord's ascension is not mentioned in Matthew or John. The...

Martyr

sandwedge @sandwedge (1339) • Malaysia 10 Jul 07

What are Martyr? Is it a word made up by man to fool others into killing themselves for a cause or is is really divinely given duty? too many times i read about "martyrs" in the news and wonder how can man declare a person a...

vivienna Dear sandwedge, the word "Martyr" comes from Greek where it meant "witness". The New Testament uses the term quite frequently, in the sense of giving testimony of Jesus death, resurrection and the transformation the believer experiences because of his faith...

Jesus is my Homeboy, is he yours?

bda_rock @bda_rock (135) • Bermuda 8 Jul 07

I have a t-shirt with "Jesus is my Homeboy" on it. It seems to upset some people, yet please others. I'm am not sure why. Are they upset or pleased because I am showing my faith? Or is it because I am a mid-40's, heavy-set, white...

vivienna Jesus is my Homeboy, sure, and my only and beloved Lord and Savior, for those who prefer to express it this way. Never mind whether you're mid-something, bony or greasy, green or pink of color, giant or dwarf. Jesus doesn't mind those things, but he said:...

HsuYinFung I guess I'll weigh in on the negative. I personally think it's disrespectful and I believe it was created in a mocking way which is why I've seen the shirt on people like Axl Rose I believe and others. As a christian I don't care for it and although Jesus is...

vivienna I'm not American citizen, but for various reasons I think that Hillary Clinton will make an excellent president. Not because she's a woman -what counts is capacity and human quality, not gender- but she has got these. Go ahead, Mrs. President!

Are there too many Paid-to-Click sites?

vivienna @vivienna (582) • Venezuela 5 Jul 07

vivienna No, there isn't a war between Muslims and Christians. There is and were always political ambitions and economical interests that abuse the simple faith of people. I'm Christian and that's why I can't be in war against no human being, simply because Christ...

If hell doesn't exist, would you still be a Christian?

Amstardam @Amstardam (1348) • United States 19 Jun 07

A few months ago I was having a conversation with a friend of mine. He claims to be a Christian but does not believe in hell. He believes Christians will go to Heaven and non-Christians will cease to exist. My thoughts were, so...

Did you ever pay to enter a business in internet and what was the result?

vivienna @vivienna (582) • Venezuela 19 Jun 07

I'm very conscious that many of those "get rich while sleeping" sites in Internet simply want to catch people, and cash in between $5 to $1000, or even more. What I can't understand is that these sites may be still online, able to...

fightingistheonlyway @fightingistheonlyway (2658) • Canada 17 Jun 07

vivienna Dear fightingistheonlyway, it is really sad when so mane people, Christians inclusive, treat questions of faith at a level of more ignorance than knowledge. To be a believer includes the study of my faith' teachings. Then I will not misunderstand them or...

vivienna Do you think that one can prefer one religion to others as one prefers tea to coffee or a red shirt to a green shirt? Sadly, many people see it this way and try religions until they find the one they like most. Many times they also take a little bit from here...

Methaphysics: natural or supernatural?

missak @missak (3311) • Spain 16 Jun 07
